Patience

Waiting can be bothersome,

If not downright unreasonable

When weaving through the barriers

Of, “GIVE IT TO ME, NOW.”

 

Where comes the need? This instant need

For pleasure and fulfillment,

As though there’s cause to

Reap the crops

Before the soil, for seed, is ploughed.

 

It’s what I want.

It’s what I need,

The one thing I desire.

The new, the now, the everything

To which I most aspire.

 

But Patience is long-suffering.

She muddles through with pluck and grit,

Her stoic presence taciturn,

Although she may lament a bit

While biding in anticipation

Pondering the “either / or”.

Anything that’s worth its weight is

Always worth the waiting for.
